ABSTRACT

This study aims to evaluate diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for nuclear medicine (NM) imaging studies in Jordan. The parameters of the current study obtained from different NM modalities conducted for adult patients imaging. The Administrated Activity (AA) of a radioactive substance (MBq) was collected from four hospitals specialized in nuclear medicine imaging at Amman City. According to ICRP recommendation, the established DRLs values obtained based on the 75th percentile of the AA values. The obtained results were compared with several international results. The DRLs' values for Jordan were located within the recommended range.
